Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Trey Zuhn III at No. 196 is 52 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Anderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
They paid up for Derrick Moore at slot 49 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 79th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Harold Perkins Jr. a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the 163rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 196 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin at Round 6, Pick 16 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Aaron Anderson in slot 211, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in pick 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
